a.
To find:the value of k for the LSM.
a.
Answer to Problem 51E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The weight of an object that is at a distance x from the center of earth is written as
where k is the constant depends on the mass of the object.
The energy required to move the object from
Radius of earth is given by
Calculation:
According to the question,
Hence, the value of k for the LSMis
b.
To find: the energy required to lift the LSM from the earth’s surface to the moon.
